To live in that feeling and capture the user’s experience visually, seeing these internal emotions of delight and excitement portrayed on the outside in an artful form. With the power of AMD RyzenTM, users can let their expression and imagination run wild in a world of endless possibilities, untethered from wires or limitations, low speeds or bandwidth issues... anywhere... all the time.

Vibrant and curated color palettes were used to portray the intensity of energy FX. We used the AMD palette as a base and expanded with accent colors to give each scenario a unique look and feel that felt as exciting and vivid as the experience itself.

Process

The process behind these films was all about layering: from live action footage and in-camera color projections, to animated FX and hand re-lighting in CG. We created a unique set of tools that could be replicated and customized across all films.
